bonnielyn: i really like Lys- as a first syllable for the mn. i think i'll do a search for some alternatives to the -ander ending (fiancé doesn't like -ander)!

dantea: OMG, thank you so much for this awesome list. there are a number of names on there that i haven't heard or thought of before!
i've now added Solaris, Solon, Eleodor (might eliminate the -o at the end -- perhaps too close to Eleonor though?), Ravi, Sulien ( <3 ! ), Sulvyn, Alamar, Armend, Kiran, Valo, Lucius and Lesedi to my list!

how do you pronounce Sulien, though? that's my absolute fav of your list. i see it's Welsh. i would have gone with SOO-lee-en, but i see the correct pronunciation is SEE-lee-en. hmm..
